National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) officials announced today that Summit Racing Equipment has been
named the title sponsor of the NHRA Jr. Drag Racing League, an entry-level series for kids ages 8
to 17.

In the multi-year agreement, Summit Racing Equipment, a national leader in direct marketing of auto
racing parts and equipment, will have the exclusive right to market and promote the NHRA Summit
Racing Jr. Drag Racing League, effective immediately.

"We've watched the Jr. Drag Racing League program grow over the last several years and felt it was
time to get involved and support these young racers and their families," said Jim Greenleaf, Summit
Racing motorsports and event manager. "The NHRA Jr. Drag Racing League is a terrific program for
developing the professional drag racers of tomorrow. It is also an excellent addition to Summit
Racing's current NHRA programs, including the Summit Racing Series, three NHRA national events, and
the King of the Track program."

The NHRA Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League consists of weekly racing at many of NHRA's 130
member tracks and will also be showcased during two regional championship events: The NHRA Jr. Drag
Racing League Eastern Conference Finals and NHRA Jr. Drag Racing League Western Conference Finals.
The dates and locations for the two Finals events will be announced at a later date.

"The NHRA Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League is a very unique program and unparalleled in the
world of motorsports," said Gary Darcy, senior vice president of sales and marketing, NHRA. "It
provides the ultimate opportunity for young racing enthusiasts to participate in NHRA Drag Racing
in a controlled and safer environment. By becoming the title sponsor of the NHRA Jr. Drag Racing
League, Summit Racing is solidifying its role in helping to develop the next generation of NHRA
stars."

Founded in 1992, more than 4,000 kids compete in the NHRA Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League. Jr.
Dragsters are half-scale replicas powered by five-horsepower engines that produce speeds up to 85
mph in the eighth-mile distance.

The commitment increases Summit Racing Equipment's presence in NHRA Drag Racing. The company is the
title sponsor of three NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series events, including the SummitRacing.com
NHRA Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in early April; the Summit Racing Equipment
NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway in early May; and the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA
Nationals on the Fourth of July weekend at Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park in Norwalk,
Ohio. The company also is the primary sponsor for the Chevy Camaros driven by multi-time Pro Stock
world champs Greg Anderson and Jason Line in the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series. In addition,
Summit Racing Equipment also sponsors the popular NHRA Summit Racing Series, the premier grassroots
level series in NHRA competition, as well as the Summit Racing NHRA King of the Track program.

With headquarters in Tallmadge, Ohio, Summit Racing Equipment is the industry's leading direct
marketer of auto racing parts and equipment through catalogs and the Internet. The company also
operates large retail stores in Sparks, Nev. and McDonough, Ga.
